[HCGHOPEFUL]

AFTER READING A LOT OF POSTS ON HERE I'M AFRAID IT'S GOING TO BE NEAR IMPOSSIBLE TO KEEP THE WEIGHT OFF AFTER THE SHOTS, EVERYONE SEEMS TO HAVE A LOT OF PROBLEMS KEEPING IT OFF, AND THAT STINKS BECAUSE THIS A REALLY HARD DIET TO GO THRU TO GAIN IT ALL BACK AND FAST!!  ANYONE SUCESSFULLY KEEP WEIGHT OFF INTO PHASE 4?

I made it thru 3 weeks of phase three and stayed right at my LIW.  Then I made it thru a week of phase 4....then I went on vacation and of course ate out 3 times a day, and way over did it....gained 7 pounds in 2 weeks. 
So it seems to me, that if you are sensible in phase 4, then the weight will stay off.... I think the key is to add the sugars and starches in SLOWLY and see what your body is able to handle.  Of course you can't go back to your old terrible eating habits (like I did) and expect the weight to stay off.
I think if you are determined, then you will succeed!!  Good luck to ya!

after the weight gain, did you take it off successfully. or will you do another phase 2. Is it possible to lose weight, gain alittle back, lose it again without going back on this diet? I agree its alot of work. to stay possitive because the diet is so boring. I would be happy with at least a mint or gum. Can I chew sugarless gum on Phase 3? I really want this to work, I can't stand fighting this extra 25 lbs forever. I have tried alot of diets. (weight  watchers, Ephedra diet pills, South beach) I lose weight but it comes back so fast. I believe that Im a healthy eater too. I love going out to eat, what suggestions do you have for me.  I just want this to work.

I plan to do another round of phase two after the holidays...I think I will make Christmas Eve and Christmas my two load days. 
I am not gaining anymore though, and I am eating ALOT!!!  I'm sure if I just quit eating so much it would probably go back down on its own.
